You need to add a email suffix at the end of the number based upon what the service provider is. Now, it seems people don't like cluttering up there phones with unneeded emails and sometimes, you may not even know the provider of someone in your contacts.

I was thinking about a solution to this, and why not simply send the number to every provider suffix, which I'm sure has already been done before (which I've seen implements created by people in the forum). But that brings problems of spamming each providers network and could cause problems. But what if, the script send it to all email suffixes ONLY the first time sent. It could then "learn" which provider is attached to that number based upon which emails got bounced back. Maybe?

I suppose. But you'd have to manually edit the files depending the bounced emails.

Might as well send one giant email to all your contacts using all the suffixes (do this right from your pc). Then determine what provider everyone is using based on the bounced emails. Make a new Contact list in Outlook based on this new info and then load that new contact list of emails onto the phone.

That would be the easies method, quickest method, and the best method.
